Welcome to SportsNation! On Thursday, NHRA rookie driver Courtney Force, daughter of NHRA legend John Force, stops by to chat about the season and this weekend's race, the Toyota NHRA Supernationals - Saturday's qualifying (4:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) and Sunday's finals (4:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2) will both air on ESPN's networks.

Force currently sits ninth in the Funny Car standings, putting her in line for a berth into the Countdown to the Championship at the end of the season. So far in 2012, she has won the most rounds of any rookie with five.
